Bus Company
To Give Up
PORTLAND ifl Another sub
urban bus line intends to quit busi
ness Friday because of lack of
riders. It is the North Parkro.sc
line, which serves an area north
east of Portland.
The owner said he had been los
ing money for five years, the num
ber of passengers dropping from
1.500 daily in 1948-49 to 400 re
cently. A line serving a Southwest Port
land area quit recently, then
agreed to resume for a 90-day trial
to see if a nickel increase in fares
would produce a profit. .
The owner of the North Parkrose
line said a fare increase would not
help him.
Estacad.a-Molalla Stages was
permitted Wednesday to increase
Its fares five cents per passenger,
and to add 5 cents per express
shipment.
Public Utilities Commissioner
Charles H. Hcltzcl, who issued the
order, said the company had rev
enues of $35,000 in the first 10
months of last year, and lost $5,300
during that period.
The increase, he said, would per
mit the company to make a very
small profit, if it doesn't lose any
passengers.
